Well after 3 years or so I am almost there. Filled in SVA paperwork wrote out cheques and posted off this morning.
Just a long list of bits and bobs to finish then I will be really ready..I hope

lets hope your not the first person too late for SVA,
I believe they stopped taking SVA applications at the end of Feb, but i heard that there is a 2 week overlap period to process the large number of applications received due to the forthcoming IVA test

Fingers crossed for you

Edit to add, just read that its the 20th of this month so things should be OK for you

i was told last week by a bloke at VOSA that he would not be taking any more applications after march 13th 2009, if that helps

Good luck mate, keep us informed.
